DESCRIPTION:On June 8\, World Oceans Day\, we also celebrate rare and asto
 nishing creatures such as the Dumbo octopus (Insigniteuthis calypso).   It
  looks as though it has come straight from a cartoonist’s sketchbook\, y
 et it lives in the depths of the Mediterranean Sea—in this video\, it is
  found at a depth of about 1\,700 meters—and is easily recognized by the
  small fins that resemble the ears of the famous little elephant. It is a 
 benthopelagic cephalopod\, less than 10 centimeters long\, only rarely obs
 erved in the Mediterranean and\, until a few years ago\, known almost excl
 usively through accidental catches.   Thanks to seafloor exploration campa
 igns carried out by ISPRA as part of the PNRR MER – Seamounts project\, 
 it has been possible to document this species in its natural habitat\, exp
 anding our knowledge of the distribution and biodiversity of deep Mediterr
 anean ecosystems.
